Well, I'm Olivia and this is my blog. I'm not too good at describing myself but you can get to know me and become my friend if you want to. I like to make wallpapers and vectors in my free time. If you're curious and want to find out more about me, check this page ^_^
My main goal isn't having a lot of downloads on my wallpapers, but providing high quality graphics. I try to credit as much as possible, but if you think I used something of yours without permission, please notify me and we will discuss the matter.
Here's my e-mail address, in case you need it: devlish_pandemonium@yahoo.com. Please don't spam me and please don't add me to your messenger list unless we're good friends (and please, PLEASE tell me who you are here when you add me ^_^)
I've kind of stopped commenting on artwork. You'll still see me around, but only on better-than-average works. Why? Simply because I've been in the graphics "business" for some time and now I have higher standards than before; also, most of the works here are similar and I've grown tired of giving the same advice, over and over again. Sorry, but you'll only see a comment of mine if I like your work.

- Don't steal my graphics a.k.a. remove the credits and/or post them on other sites. If you need something I used, just PM me and I'll tell you where I got it from.

- When signing my guest book, please write more than one line. No "I love your site, I'm addin ya!", please. And absolutely NO "Visit my site!" stuff! I'll ignore these posts (and the posters). Be creative. If you sign my guest book abiding by these rules, I'll visit your site and sign yours :] I might be late signing it, but don't worry, I will sign it.

- Let's get this straight. If you want me as a friend, visit my site and comment on my posts and/or wallpapers. I'm not asking you to comment on each and every one; once in a while is enough :] I don't update too often (once a week at most), so it shouldn't be difficult to come by and leave a comment. If you're busy, I'll understand.

- If you're PM'ing me to complain about something, provide arguments. I won't pay attention to stuff which doesn't make sense.

If you have a question, please read the rules first. If it isn't answered there, feel free to ask me. Please be polite and I will be as well.

You can find my works on these sites:

Hiya everyone! *hugs* Thank you for the comments on my last post! ^^ I don't mean to sound rude or anything ('cause it seems like each post's first paragraph is dedicated to coming up with a reason for not commenting!), but I won't be able to reply to comments for a while. Every time I access my comments page, it shows a "database error" message! Has anyone else had this problem? I PM'ed Adam about it but haven't got a reply yet... I hope he's reasonable and that PM'ing him was the right thing to do. Some admins yell at people for signaling errors -__-"

Last week wasn't too bad, if I think about it. On Friday we had 2 consecutive classes of Maths, but the teacher didn't come so one classmate phoned the teacher of Romanian L&L to allow us to leave (since we had 2 classes with her afterwards). When she answered the phone, he began speaking politely and asked if you could leave, then said "Oh, sorry!" and hung up. Turns out he phoned our 9th grade teacher instead! She stopped teaching in this high school when we were in the 10th grade and thought it was a prank call! XD We did manage to talk to the "real" teacher and she allowed us to leave, so we went home 4 hours sooner than usual ^_^

I think I mentioned it in the second post: this week we were supposed to start learning web design, with our head teacher (who also teaches Informatics or however it's called -you get the point). Since it's her, of course we did matrices (which aren't too difficult but boring) and no web design >_<" And I want to learn it so badly! I'm happy I picked up the basics along the way, but I'd still like to know it well. Maybe I'll also write some articles as I learn/understand it XD

Here's an image I drew a few weeks ago ^^ I'm planning to use this one and a few more I've yet to draw in an article about forums, that I've yet to write ^^" It's pretty obvious, so I don't think it needs explaining! The article will have the link to the higher quality pic too ^^ Or I'll upload it as a fan art, I'll see later.

My head hurts ;_; I'd better hurry up, it's already 11 p.m. and I want to watch TV XD Isn't it funny how kids want to stay up late, even though they have nothing to do? Then they realize it's not that great to have to go to bed late, once they grow up.

Art-wise, I'm working on more vectors at the moment; however, I'll post only the link to the Yuuki (Vampire Knight) one, since I'm too lazy to take screenshots of all of them ^^" It's another vexel, like the Sailor Neptune one from before. A group from MT also announced a Halloween contest and the entry has to be a dark wallie, so I'll be working on an original one. Luckily, I've already got a concept in mind; unluckily, it never ends up how I imagined it -_-" Let's hope it ends up reasonable, at least!
Oh, more avvies An extensive tutorial on how to make these is on the way! ^^

And to end the post, I had a quiz accepted <3 I submitted it a few days and was beginning to think it was rejected, telling myself it takes longer to be approved just to feel better T_T But it was approved yesterday! <3 If you comment on it, I'm sorry for not reading it at the moment, the darn bug's in my way ;_; Anyway, here it is: What Kaleido Star Girl Are You?

Thank you so much for reading my posts, visiting me and commenting on my stuff <3 Somehow I feel like I don't deserve all this T_T *hugs everyone* I have some gifts in the making, so stay tuned Hopefully, I'll get them done by Christmas lol XD Bye bye and hope you have a great weekend~! *runs off*

School, future vexel, avatars and other stuff

First off, a lot of thanks to everyone who commented on my vector post and my H2O card~! ^^ *bows* I really appreciate it! I might submit an H2O card later on and a new wallpaper (from Clannad), which you can see here (too lazy to submit it now). I made it yesterday and, well, you'll see more details when I submit it here ^^

As for school, it hasn't been too bad up to this point. The new Chemistry teacher -now we have only one "basic" class of Chem/week and the other is an extra, called "Chemistry in Health and Beauty", with a different teacher- is nice and she sent us the course via IM I never expected a Chem teacher to have a messaging program! The Spanish teacher also told us that we're going to have Spanish as the first class, next year, on Monday and Friday. Next year we'll be studying in the morning (around 7:30 a.m.) and I don't wanna start out with Spanish Oh well, I suppose it's better than Chem or Physics!

Through some unknown alignment of the planets (and other astrological mumbo-jumbo), me and Nico are now sitting in the front desk! Last year (and the year before) we sat at the third desk and it was great, because we could sleep, laugh and read books without being disturbed by the teachers (when the classes were boring, of course, and not during important subjects). Now we have to pay attention all the time and we can't even yawn without being seen! Not to mention the classroom's small (the smallest in the entire high school, no kidding!) and we're all crowded. I feel like I'm in a box, the room's shaped like a cube! >_<"

Um, what else to say... I have the same Romanian L&L teacher from last year, and the same teacher of English. They're both boring as Hell and I barely manage to stay awake during their classes. How is it that something as interesting as literature becomes so boring when they teach it?! Yesterday, the teacher of English told us that we were to get the "Advanced Gold" course book, instead of the "Proficiency" one. The day before, almost all voted for "Proficiency", but who cares about democracy? -_-" This is because we're going to take the CAE (I forgot what it stands for) in May or June and we need a book. Then she said the classes weren't going to be fun like before, but serious. AS IF they were ever fun >_> After that, she asked us if we were willing to become serious students and then assumed we were, since we looked so serious. Apparently, asleep=serious, 'cause that's how we were ._.

This is getting too long and boring... On the light stuff side, I'm reading "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov now. It's enjoyable and I understand how the main (male) character feels like -that does NOT make me a pedophile -_-" - and I wanna see the movie too! As for more artsy stuff, here are some new avvies I made ^^

OK, so I don't really agree with smoking, but there are people who smoke and I wanted to make something different. No discrimination! (Plus I like the way it turned out).
I'm also working on a new vexel, just because I like to torture myself :3 This is the image I'm working with (hopefully I'll get it done by Christmas -__-"); I chose it because I liked the autumn-y colors :3

Thank you again for visiting and sorry for not being able to keep up with the notifications! They pile up and sometimes I don't have time to check them all >_< Sorry for the long post, you know me: I disappear for a while, then come back with a huge post! *hugs everyone* Hope you have a great week and that school's not too hard on ya!

Deadness.

Hello, hello I apologize for the cold, eerie wind blowing through my worlds and wallpaper gallery lately -I've been really busy with school due to term papers and all that >_< There are 4 of them: Biology, Romanian Literature, Maths and Computers. The Biology one was last Saturday (who the Hell fixes a term paper on Saturday anyway?!), the Romanian Literature one was yesterday (my poor hand couldn't take the pressure and rebelled against me after it T_T), the Computers one is tomorrow (dang, I really should look at those exercises >_>) and the Maths one will be next week. Yup, that's right, I haven't read a single thing for the term paper tomorrow but it's not like there's much to study anyway.

As for the Romanian Literature one, there were 2 subjects and I got #1 - a novel entitled "Procust's Bed" (I didn't misspell it, the guy's name really was Procust). Short summary: 2 love stories described through letters the characters send to each other; it's like a puzzle. I had to write 2 pages and didn't know what to write to fill that space -and my handwriting's also small and crowded -_-" I hate writing overly dramatic stuff but this time I had to, for the sake of reaching that limit -I didn't even reach it, I'm 2 lines short of 2 pages! But I'm sure the teacher won't mind, she's nice.

Another thing which bothered me took place yesterday, during Chemistry class. We performed several experiments and were waiting to be graded. The teacher would call some students to him and each told him what they did. I was in the last group so it took him a lot to get to me -it even rang for the beginning of the next class and he still hadn't gotten to me! The next class was Spanish and the teacher doesn't like it when we're late; sometimes she threatens to send us to the high school's library to "study" for one hour and marks us as "absent" too (never happened to me and I hope it never will!). Anyway, I was upset because I really wanted to be graded for my work, I didn't care if I got sent to the library 5 times, I wouldn't leave until I got my grade! In the end I got an 8 (don't know why, I did the experiments properly), but here's the worst part: the teacher said no one would get these grades "officially", meaning they're not permanent and might drop, should we make mistakes. Isn't that sneaky of him? >_< Why are people like him teachers anyway? Luckily, he's retiring next school year *grins*

School aside, Saturday was a pretty nice day. Me, Nico and Sabina (a friend of hers) went to a store called "The Japanese Shop" to buy a present for one of our classmates. After looking through the shop we bought a scarf with skulls and hearts (it was cute, not like those emo ones) and some potpourri that smelled like roses I got my mom an orange-scented potpourri and still had some money left to buy a slice of pizza and an ice cream!

And to end the post on a slightly humorous note, here's an avatar I made for Nico. She's currently obsessed with this rope-skipping group from Belgium, called DDF. She gave me some pictures they gave her and I ended up making parodies of them (we were rolling on the floor laughing at my genius ideas!). Beware, stupidity at its best ahead!

Thank you for bearing with me and my rants I know I'm a bad friend, not commenting on sites and all but I truly am sorry! I'll have more spare time in June, I think, so until then I can't go online that often. Sorry, but collabs will have to wait for a while *feels bad for suggesting them when she's not available* Bye bye and hope everyone is doing fine! *hugs* Oh, and do you like the new theme? ^_^
Question: What are you afraid of?
My answer: Insects and zombies >_< I know every way to defeat zombies therefore I'm prepared! *grabs butcher's knife and takes super hero pose*
